The Tycoon's Odyssey

The sample sales and amount of crowd terrified Evan. Seeing people fighting to have a drink felt good but it caused too much chaos.

After inquiry, Evan found that it began with a group of old men who went for a walk in the garden. While returning they stumbled upon the free tea stall which was too lucrative to let go.

Once they tasted they forwarded about it in their groups and called their families which created the effect.

To avoid another round of trouble, Evan canceled the free sample sale and opened the shop.

And on the very first day, it was a huge rush that kept them in awe.

'Holyshit!"

Evan almost cursed aloud seeing the sales.

Deducting the cost, they made a profit of 50000 rupees on the first day and that's also considering the fact they were stock out.

Secondly, many people asked for cups to take home but the ordered cups for takeaway were still not ready so there were no parcels.

Yeah, it was his fault.

First, he didn't expect it to become a hit right away and secondly, he thought it would take a few days to get but his order which was supposed to be delivered on 20th December due to some circumstances was shifted to 24th December giving him a headache.

Who knows if they would even get this before Christmas?

Celina said that this happens in business, and that's why one needs to be thorough and keep things planned ahead.

Having learned his lesson, Evan already started working and managing things.

They hired two more baristas and another pastry chef.

The business boomed to the point that tables were filled and people lined up outside.

Evan put up a few tables and chairs outside which also became packed.

Most of the customers were couples and old people from neighboring societies who came to relax in winter and bask in the sun sitting outside.

People who often stay awake till late at night find it extremely useful as it relieves their stress and shakes away their drowsiness.

Evan was relieved that he decided to lower the concentration of Spirit Vitalizing tea further at the last moment otherwise who knew what effect it would have brought him.

31st December, brought another wave of shock as sales doubled from 150k to break through 300k profits.

Thankfully, most of the credit was done online otherwise so much cash would have brought a lot of trouble.

The 10 days of opening generated a revenue of 1.4 million rupees. Yes, it was all profit deductible cost.

Each day they were selling almost 5000-1000 cups of tea and even pastries, and cookies were getting stocked out.

However, Evan noted that the eateries weren't up to the mark. Sam was good but he was good in a few things only.

He alone wasn't enough to supervise everything.

Evan took out a sum and gave them a paycheck with a bonus.

Maria and Celina got 60k, and Sam and other staff were given 40k.

He gave them a full month's salary.

Of course, this was too much and might be stupidity but he decides to take a gamble to draw their hearts.

And each of them worked hard.

Maria and Sam also spent a part of their savings in establishing supply channels. It wasn't needed but they were adamant about making some contributions otherwise they said they wouldn't work there.

Evan spent 10k on pest and cleaning as he found dirt and pests slowly crawling in despite that place being new.

He also spent on replacing some old tables with new ones, especially because he can't believe some shitheads pasted chewing gum under the tables.

In the end, he was left with 900k.

Despite the huge sum, it was just a secondary goal.

As for the primary goal of borough happiness.

[DING]

[Congratulations, you have finished the quest to open the cafe and earned back the investment made in the shop.

Reward: Elementary lucky draw roulette X1

He kept it for now to draw on the new year.

Meanwhile, Evan also kept up his programming work in the background.

Solving the programs, and errors and providing a solution through freelancing, he earned another one 400k.

He was even offered a job of 4 million rupees a year by a company but he refused them kindly he said that he was always available for help.

....

1st January.

In the warm fuzzy hotel room, Evan took a deep breath staring at the system screen.

[The Lucky Draw is a system tool that the depends on the host's luck and through it host can gain skills, knowledge,blueprint or items]

'Oh my god! That's so incredible' he exclaimed

'System, I wish to use my Lucky Draw opportunity' Evan said in his mind avidly

[Opening Lucky Draw Roulette…]

Evan saw a roulette with thousands of things written on it as it started to spin it.

It was so fast that Evan wasn't able to keep up with the things written on it.

Around 1 minute later, it stopped spinning.

[You have gained an advanced programming language Progress Script]

"HUH!"

Question marks hovered above Evan ahead.

He was just too bewildered because he hadn't thought that he would be gifted with a programming language out of all.

He looked into the Progress Script description.

[ ProgressScript: A multi-versatile programming language developed 300 years in the future by humans.]

[It simplifies tasks with smart optimization and intuitive syntax. Enhanced networking and advanced data structures boost collaboration and performance. With built-in security and efficient debugging, it's perfect for modern development. Compatible with existing platforms, ProgressScript empowers developers to create robust software effortlessly.]

"System, how do I use it?"

[Just say accept.]

"Accept..."

Soon, a vast array of knowledge entered his memory.

An uncomfortable feeling welled up and his head throbbed due to the influx of pain.

Dizziness swelled around and his vision blurred.

The phenomenon went on for a few moments.

Evan's chest heaved up and down with beads of sweat trickling down his forehead.

Once he assimilated everything, he instantly understood the miraculous programming languages.

Today's languages focus on simplicity, performance, or flexibility, but rarely all three. They often make developers choose between ease of use and advanced features. Debugging and security can be complex and often require the assistance of additional tools and other languages.

ProgressScript combines simplicity, performance, and flexibility. It's easy syntax and advanced features boost performance. It has built-in security and works well with existing tools. It has an inbuilt error tracking service that modifies errors in codes in line with the motive of the code.

In short, ProgressScript is a big step forward in programming, making coding easier, faster, and more secure.

Evan opened his laptop and opened the program he had been writing for the software.

A hint of disgust flashed on his flash.

"Damn! System, why do I feel you are mocking me?"

The difference he felt was huge.

100 lines of code can be shortened to 10 or more lines in this new coding language. His previous code looked like child's play in front of this.

This brought him a great deal of frustration and also made him aware of the technological gap.

It also made him think that he would be nothing but trash without the system.

[You are wrong.]

[Host, your adopted parent's action would have forced you to take action. You would soon uncover the mystery and break free from them. In the future, you will find a business opportunity and soar high. Though you didn't make it to the top still you created a big business corps all without a system.]

"Re..."

Before Evan could rejoice, a loud noise bell woke him up.

He went ahead, put on a mask and opened the door, and saw a valet.

"Sir, you have 5 minutes before check-out time. Would you like to extend it for a few more days?"

Evan bites his lips pondering for a moment.

"Extend it for a day."

"Okay, sir."

After the man, Evan decided to check his balance.

"Hmm! It's time to move out."
